Aid Worker from U.S. Charity Shot and Killed in Gaza

Palestinian gunmen mistakenly targeted Islam Hejazy's vehicle, leading to her tragic death.

Islam Hejazy, a Gaza program manager at HEAL Palestine, was killed when gunmen fired on her car in Khan Younis.
Her family was informed by government officials that the shooting was a case of mistaken identity.
HEAL Palestine praised Hejazy's humanitarian work and expressed renewed dedication to their mission in her honor.
The incident underscores rising chaos in Gaza, with increased theft, gang activity, and weakened security services.
The ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict has displaced most of Gaza's 2.3 million residents and resulted in significant casualties on both sides.
